The pupils of our public school have passed,
we think, very creditable examination,
which closed last week, after three days work.
Our school numbered 40 for the Spring term,
and at the time of the examination which
took place on March 23rd, there were about
80 still attending school, of which rs stood
the test for promotion and 20 succeeded.
We are still enjoying thick oyercoats and
good, warm fires. The wintry weather came
upon us last fall, somewhat early, and then
our citizen prophets began to picture up to us
an early Spring. Candlemas, they declared,
was Just what they expected, for said they,
we have had a long cold winter already and are
now going to have an early Spring with plenty
of mild weather. So the ground hog had
plenty of time to wallow in the rain and mud
of his prophesy, but opposition seems to have
met him in Mathias's day, and the way those
two prophets have howled over and through
the month of March, (like two gigantic war
riors over disputed ground, has made many
of us Respondent and down hearted, at so
long winter If this is n true sign of the
weather, we hope that the like will not occur
any more for while.
Several of our intended movers are linger-
ing between halt and go. There being no
certainty yet as to the result of changes,

is reasonably good at present, and all are
